@trev33 saidHe's caused enough virus outbreaks in his time, but not usually among the users themselves...
I saw this a few weeks ago, maybe he’s the one who started it 😂
Frankly, having to deal with the consequences of his "work" on a daily basis, I have no time for the Harvard drop-out, no matter how much "good work" he may do with money made by practices that cost the rest of us many times as much to this day. He's a parasite and always will be.

What Gates has achieved is astonishing; Jobs was more way inspirational though.

@divegeester saidNeither of them came close to the inventiveness of the people at Xerox Parc. In fact, most of what they "invented", they stole from those geniuses. But hey, predatory business practices are good for you!

If the Xerox Park leadership had had 10% of the vision and commercial savvy of either Jobs or Gates there wouldn’t be a Microsoft or an Apple as we know them today.
Incidentally one the top guys** at Xerox Park left and went to work for Jobs taking all the “A players” with him. People follow leaders.
**He died recently as you know.
